Nice, contemporary décor. It is really big. The cherry is almost a size of a small head, like a 10-12 year old kid. It came very well packaged so there was no damage. The only thing I would have liked was if the color would be more darker and deeper red versus the bright red. However, I'll be using it in a very white, contemporary setting in Miami, that's why bright red will look good too. It can also look very sharp on a white or black kitchen island as long as this is the only décor.
